...single force. Google Book Search really does not change the game. It merely translates the outdated paradigm of musty tomes and card catalogs to the internet age. The library we want is not a public library funded by the government or a benevolent nonprofit, but rather a decentralized network of peer-to-peer sharing, with works freely copied, perhaps even illegally copied. So file your objections, bibliophiles! For the sake of libraries, for the sake of books, for freedom’s sake.—Staff Writer Sanders I. Bernstein can be reached at sbernst@fas.harvard.edu
...needs. These kinds of positions are posted and viewable by students on our new online platform, Crimson Careers. Over 150 jobs have been posted in the month of April alone. A word of advice: The best route to both securing a job and job security is having a strong network. Take every opportunity to meet employers and alumni and learn about their fields and career paths. The goal is not to “schmooze” or garner favors, but rather to be a familiar name or face when a position does become available. Similarly, employers will be looking...
...example, if BCE hopes to bring back some of the old luster to its valuation, analysts say, it must turn back advances made by cable operators and invest billions of dollars in network upgrades. Nowhere is this more urgent than in the province of Quebec, where Videotron Ltd. has coaxed 850,000 customers away from Bell Canada since launching its cable phone service four years ago. That figure is expected to top 1 million in 2009, driven in part by Videotron's ability to attract subscribers to a discounted triple-play bundle that combines voice, cable and high-speed Internet...
...more crucial factor in the turnaround. China sits in the middle of an increasingly important trading system within Asia. Countries like Japan, South Korea and Indonesia export capital goods, components and raw materials to China, where they are used to manufacture final products for shipment to the West. This network broke down as demand in the U.S. and Europe shriveled, but economists say China's stimulus program might be filling in some of the lost sales. Programs to spur domestic consumer spending in China have boosted purchases of items like appliances and automobiles. The success of the stimulus program, economists...
...fairly blame the pigs (indeed, the CDC has officially stopped calling the virus "swine flu," opting instead for the more hog-friendly 2009 H1N1 flu), can we blame Mexico? That charge doesn't stick either. Decades ago, numerous countries came together to develop the Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN), which allows epidemiological teams to spot new flu viruses as soon as they emerge and get vaccines ready in time. But the GISN only tracks human flu, meaning animal flu can slip by undetected. What's more, pigs that carry influenza tend not to die en masse the way flocks...
